Time 10h5m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 bone in beef short ribs
1 tsp each salt and pepper
3 c beef broth
1/4 c worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp garlic minced
1 sprig(s) fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • 1. Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Place some oil in a frying pan and get it hot. Sear the ribs on all sides then add them to the slow cooker.
  • 2. Add remaining ingredients and cook on low 8 to 10 hours.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Short Ribs: Opt for short ribs that are well-marbled with fat for maximum flavor and tenderness.
  • Seasoning the Short Ribs: Don't skimp on the seasoning! Generously coat the ribs with a flavorful blend of spices and herbs for a rich and savory taste.
  • Browning the Short Ribs: While not always necessary, browning the short ribs prior to slow cooking adds a delicious depth of flavor and color.
  • Choosing the Right Cooking Liquid: Whether it's red wine, broth, or a combination, select a liquid that complements the flavor profile of the short ribs.
  • Adding Vegetables: Feel free to add vegetables like carrots, celery, and onions to the slow cooker for a wholesome and nutritious meal.
  • Cooking Time: Be patient and allow the short ribs to cook on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until the meat falls off the bone.
  • Testing for Doneness: Use a fork or toothpick to check the tenderness of the short ribs. The meat should easily shred when done.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve the fall-off-the-bone short ribs with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a side of your choice.
